A Study on Identification of Auditory, Visual, and Kinaesthetic Learning Essentials for Adolescents Studying in Government Schools at Dakshina Kannada District

ABSTRACT 
The  traditional method of  teaching approach  in  Indian  schools  is basically a  threat  for  flexible 
learning where students are given importance based on their learning preferences. Students are not 
encouraged  for  maximized  learning  through  their  different  learning  style  when  teachers  in 
classroom use the only chalk-talk method of teaching approach. The main objective of this study 
is to identify the learning essentials of the adolescents, which helps the teachers to create positive 
interest among students in learning & classroom behaviour and  improve their comprehension in 
day  to  day  learning.  In  Indian  schools  some  are  auditory  learners,  some  visual  and  some  are 
kinaesthetic learners, but majority of the students learn better through multi-dimensional teaching 
approach which includes Audio, Visual and Kinaesthetic teaching approach. But due to the use of 
the traditional method of teaching in Indian schools the students are unable to perform better in 
their academics. The family, peer group as well as the school environment is also causing several 
emotional and psychological problems among these adolescents which is also a cause behind their 
learning interest. Hereby, we can come to the conclusion that the students are deferent in learning. 
But  there  is a  severe need  to  identify  the  learning essentials of adolescents  to explore  the new 
model  in classroom  teaching  to encourage  them  towards  learning and maximize  their academic 
performance. Secondary data method is used and the study is descriptive in nature.
